| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| 1. | CORPORATE INFORMATION |
The financial report of European Lithium Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group) for the year ended 30 June 2024 and 2025 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 19 June 2026.
European Lithium Limited is a public company incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
| 2. | SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| a) | Basis of preparation |
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The Company is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements.
The financial report has also been prepared on the accruals basis and historical cost basis with the exception of the Group’s listed investment which is stated at fair value.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the financial report except where stated.
| b) | Going concern |
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
For the year ended 30 June 2025 the Group incurred a loss after income tax of A$96,790,991 (30 June 2024: A$200,278,301), net cash outflows from operating activities of A$24,831,646 (30 June 2024: A$20,769,599), a working capital deficit of A$68,690,260 (30 June 2024: A$64,795,083) or a working capital deficit of A$6,237,857 (30 June 2024: A$8,039,502) when excluding warrants liabilities that will be settled in CRML shares and at that date had cash on hand of A$20,021,463 (30 June 2024: A$5,778,638).
For the year ended 30 June 2025, the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and to continue to fund its planned expanded activities was dependent on:
| ■ | Raising further capital by CRML; |
| ■ | Receiving funds from the exercise of warrants; |
| ■ | Receiving funds from the divestment of its listed shares; |
| ■ | Continued support from non-related party creditors in respect to the payment of overdue amounts; and |
| ■ | Reducing operational costs and spend on exploration. |
Subsequent to 30 June 2025, commencing 9 July 2025 through to 5 February 2026, the Group has divested a portion of its shareholding in CRML through a series of transactions, receiving aggregate net proceeds of approximately A$357,405,903. As a result of these transactions, the Group's cash position has increased substantially
As at 15 June 2026, the Group had cash on hand of approximately A$293.5 million and current liabilities of approximately A$0.3 million and as such the consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025 AND 2024 | Page 8 |
| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| c) | Application of new and revised accounting standards |
Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards
In the year ended 30 June 2025, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the full year reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2024. As a result of this review, the Directors have applied all new and amended Standards and Interpretations that were effective as at 1 July 2024 with no material impact on the amounts presented and the disclosures included in the financial report.
New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2025 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations has not identified any impact.
| d) | Principles of consolidation |
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 34 to the financial statements.
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity and are initially measured at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets. This election is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition date, the carrying amounts of non-controlling interests are adjusted for the non-controlling interests’ share of changes in equity.
All inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the Parent Entity.
| e) | Significant accounting estimates and assumptions |
The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:
Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of unlisted equity-settled transaction is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The fair value of listed equity-settled share options granted was based on the fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets based on the quoted market prices at the grant date (note 27).
Warrants
The Group measures the cost of warrants by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted and at reporting date. The fair value of the unlisted warrants is determined using a Black-Scholes or Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The fair value of listed warrants was based on the fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets based on the quoted market prices at reporting date (note 23).
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025 AND 2024 | Page 9 |
| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Deferred taxation
Potential future income tax benefits have not been brought to account at 30 June 2025 because the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to regard realisations of future income tax benefits as probable.
Deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure
The application of the Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgement in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits are likely from future exploitation or sale or where activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assumption of the existence of reserves.
| f) | Foreign Currency |
Foreign currency transactions and balances
All foreign currency transactions occurring during the financial year are recognised at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items at reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.
Exchange differences are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise except those exchange differences which relate to assets under construction for future productive use which are included in the cost of those assets where they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings.
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the companies within the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency.

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
| ■ | assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position; |
| ■ | income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and |
| ■ | all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. |
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold, a proportionate share of such exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entities and translated at the closing rate.

| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| g) | Exploration and evaluation expenditure |
Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:
| ■ | the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and |
| ■ | at least one of the following conditions is also met: |
| ■ | the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or |
| ■ | exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the balance date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. |
Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortised of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.
Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development.
| h) | Joint venture |
A joint venture is an arrangement that the Group controls jointly with one or more other investors, and over which the Group has rights to a share of the arrangement’s net assets rather than direct rights to underlying assets and obligations for underlying liabilities.
The joint venture is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the joint venture is recognized in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognized in other comprehensive income. Investments in joint ventures are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the joint venture.
Any goodwill or fair value adjustment attributable to the Group’s share in the joint venture is not recognized separately and is included in the amount recognized as investment.
The carrying amount of the investment in joint venture is increased or decreased to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the joint venture, adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies of the Group.
Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group and the joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in those entities. Where unrealised losses are eliminated, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment.
| i) | Warrants |
Warrants as classified as liabilities because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment. Accordingly, the Group will classify each warrant as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Groups consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

| 3. | SEGMENT INFORMATION |
IFRS 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. In the case of the Group the CODM are the executive management team and all information reported to the CODM is based on the consolidated results of the Group as one operating segment, as the Group’s activities relate to mineral exploration.
Minerals Exploration cover’s the Group’s main projects including:
| ■ | Wolfsberg (Austria) |
| ■ | Tanbreez (Greenland) |
| ■ | Bretstein-Lachtal Project, Klementkogel Project, and the Wildbachgraben Project (Austria) |
| ■ | Weinebene and Eastern Alps Projects (Austria) |
| ■ | Leinster Lithium (Ireland) |
| ■ | Dobra and Shevchenkivske Projects (Ukraine) |
Whilst the Group receives separate report for each of these projects, these projects have been aggregated into one reporting segment because management considers that they have similar economic characteristics as all three are exploration projects.
The measure of profit or loss for this reportable segment are the same as the amounts presented on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Profit or loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The measure of total assets and liabilities and the amount of investment in associated and JV accounted for by the equity method for this reportable segment are the same as the amounts presented on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Financial position.
Accordingly, the Group has only one reportable segment and the results are the same as the Group results.

| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Potential future income tax benefits arising from tax losses have not been brought to account at 30 June 2025 and 2024 because the directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the future income tax benefits as probable. These benefits will only be obtained if:
| ■ | assessable income is derived of a nature and of amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions to be realised; |
| ■ | the Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and |
| ■ | no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the realisation of the benefit from the deductions. |
The Group is subject to taxation for its consolidated subsidiaries at the rates applicable in the respective tax jurisdictions:
| ■ | Australia – Profits are taxed at the standard corporate income tax rate of 30%. |
| ■ | Austria - Profits are taxed at the standard corporate income tax (CIT) rate of 23% in Austria (2024: 23%), regardless of whether profits are retained or distributed. For the net unrecognised deferred tax asset as of 30 June 2025 a tax rate of 23% was used and for the net unrecognised deferred tax asset as of 30 June 2024 a tax rate of 23% was used based on the assessment of the future utilization by the management. Tax losses can be carried forward in Austria without time limitation. In general tax losses carried forward can be offset against taxable income only up to a maximum of 75% of the taxable income for any given year. |
| ■ | United States - The profits are taxed at the rate of 21% at the US Federal taxation level, without being subject to state taxation in the United States. |
| ■ | United Kingdom – Profits are taxed at the rate of 25%. |
| ■ | British Virgin Islands - BVI Business companies are exempt from any taxation, regardless their source of income. |

The impairment made was recognised in respect to the Leinster Lithium Project and the Austrian Lithium Project noting that current and planned exploration activities on these projects is relatively minimal given global lithium prices. The Group continues to expend amounts in order to meet minimum spend commitments on the Leinster Lithium Project and the Austrian Lithium Project in order to retain tenure. |
The recoupment of costs carried forward in relation to areas of interest in the exploration and evaluation phases is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective areas.

The HOA was comprised of the following stages: |
| a) | Initial Investment of US$5,000,000 (A$7,494,650) to acquire a 5.55% equity interest in Tanbreez |
| b) | Stage 1 interest – Issue of US$90,000,000 of shares in CRML subject to holding lock until 28 February 2025 to acquire a 36.45% equity interest in Tanbreez |
| c) | Stage 2 interest – Issue of US$116,000,000 of shares in CRML equal to 95% of the closing price of CRML shares on the date upon which CRML meets a minimum of US$10 million on the permit within 2 years to acquire a 50.50% equity interest in Tanbreez |
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025 AND 2024 | Page 20 |
| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Under the terms of the HOA, if the closing price of CRML shares upon expiration of the lock up period, being 28 February 2025, is less than the issue price of shares issued under the Stage 1 interest, then CRML will issue the vendor an additional number of shares equal to the difference between the Stage 1 interest in shares and the value of these shares at the end of the lock up period, provided however that this number of shares does not exceed 5,000,000 shares. On 28 April 2025, CRML issued Rimbal an additional 5,000,000 shares at an issue price of $1.37 per share equating to a deemed value of $6,850,000 (note 25).
Under the terms of the HOA, CRML has the right to appoint two directors to the board of Tanbreez. On 2 July 2024, Tony Sage was appointed as CRML’s representative on the Board of Tanbreez.

On 12 June 2025, CRML advanced funding of US$2,000,000 to Tanbreez which is included in the cash investments sum disclosed above. Subsequent to the year end on 9 July 2025, Tanbreez issued 100 ordinary shares to CRML, converting the US$2,000,000 funding received from CRML to share capital. CRML increased it’s shareholding in Tanbreez from 42% to 42.001%.
As at 30 June 2025, the CRML Group had completed the Initial Investment and Stage 1 interest and held an interest of 42.0% interest in Tanbreez. In addition, the Company holds a 7.5% interest in Tanbreez and consequently held a 49.5% interest in Tanbreez as at 30 June 2025.
During the years ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 the Company has undertaken a review for the impairment of assets and not identified any triggers of impairment.
Significant judgements
Significant judgements and assumptions made in determining that CRML has joint control of Tanbreez:
| ■ | In accordance with the HOA, CRLM is funding Tanbreez’s exploration activities. CRML has assessed that CRML and Rimbal jointly control Tanbreez’s business activities because: |
| o | Rimbal and CRML have equal representation on Tanbreez’s Board of Directors and as such there is required to be unanimous consent on Board decisions and |
| o | Mr Greg Barnes, being Tanbreez’s General Manager and Chief Geologist cannot be removed by CRML without Rimbal’s approval, noting that Rimbal is owned by Mr Greg Barnes. |

| (i) | On July 4, 2023, CRML, GEM Global Yield LLC SCS (the GEM Investor or GEM Global) and GEM Yield Bahamas Ltd. (GYBL) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the GEM Agreement), pursuant to which CRML is entitled to draw up to $125 million of gross proceeds in exchange for ordinary shares in CRML, at a price equal to 90% of the average closing bid price of the ordinary shares on Nasdaq for a 30 day period, subject to meeting the terms and conditions of the GEM Agreement. The GEM Agreement allows CRML to access funds for general corporate purpose and working capital needs. In addition, at the closing of the Transaction, the GEM Investor was granted a warrant (the GEM Warrant) to purchase up to 1,814,797 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $10.71 per share (subject to adjustments described in the GEM Warrant) expiring on the 3rd anniversary of the closing of the Transaction. Further, in connection with the closing of the Transaction, CRML also entered into a letter agreement with the GEM Investor and GYBL to amend the GEM Agreement, pursuant to which, CRML agreed to issue ordinary shares in CRML to the GEM Investor as the “commitment fee” pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement and, on the 61st day following the closing of the Transaction, the GEM Investor was granted the option to sell such commitment shares (equating to 122,549 shares) to CRML for US$1.875 million (the Commitment Fee Put Amount). In addition, the GEM Investor, on the first anniversary of the closing of the Transaction, was granted the right to require CRML to purchase the GEM Warrant from GEM Global in exchange for a number of ordinary shares in CRML having a value equal to US$27,200,000. |
On April 29, 2024, CRML, GEM Global and GYBL entered into a second letter agreement, pursuant to which, CRML was granted the option to deliver, in lieu of the Commitment Fee Put Amount on the date upon which it was otherwise due and payable, a payment of $3,020,000 on or prior to the 120th day after the closing of the Transaction.
On 27 September 2024, Critical Metals Corp (CRML) entered into a third letter agreement with GEM Global Yield LLC SCS (GEM Global) and GEM Yield Bahamas Ltd. (GYBL) to extinguish the existing arrangement in respect to the Commitment Fee Put Amount of $3,020,000. Under the new agreement, CRML is obliged to deliver a cash payment of US$3,500,000 (Revised Amount) to GEM Global within one business day following the consummation by CRML of a capital raising transaction provided that the gross proceeds received by CRML in connection with the capital raising transaction are equal to or greater than $15,000,000. If the gross proceeds received by CRML in connection with the capital raising transaction are less than $15,000,000, CRML shall deliver (i) a cash payment of $1,750,000 to GEM Global within one business day following the consummation by CRML of the Equity Capital Raise, and (ii) a cash payment of $1,750,000 (the Deferred Payment) to GEM Global on or before the 90th day following the Equity Capital Raise. If CRML does not deliver the Deferred Payment by the 90th day following the capital raising transaction, CRML shall incur a penalty of $10,000 per day, payable in USD, which penalty shall be added to the deferred payment amount until paid by CRML. If CRML does not consummate a capital raising transaction by 31 December 2024, CRML shall owe the revised amount of $3,500,000 and such amount shall incur interest at a 10% annual rate (which interest shall begin on the Commitment Fee Put Date and continue until such revised amount is paid).
On 28 February 2025, CRML has written to GEM Global and GYBL and is disputing the amounts payable. On 28 February 2025, CRML has written to GEM Global and GYBL and is disputing the amounts payable. In March 2025, the GEM Investor commenced an action in the U.S. against us, based on a breach of contract claim. These claims are now being arbitrated by the American Arbitration Association. The GEM Investor is seeking a cash payment of $3,500,000 and an amount of ordinary shares having a value equal to $27,200,000, in each case plus interest, under the GEM Agreements. CRML has denied the allegations made by the GEM Investor, including any liability under the GEM Agreements, and we have filed certain counterclaims concerning actions taken by the GEM Investor under the GEM Agreements. The arbitration proceeding is pending. As at 30 June 2025 the amount payable to GEM Global and GYBL by CRML comprises the revised amount of US$3,500,000 plus accrued interest of US$409,452.
Subsequent to year-end, in February 2026, CRML and the GEM investor reached an agreement in principle to settle the arbitration proceedings. Under the proposed settlement, CRML will issue ordinary shares with an aggregate value of approximately US$40 million in full settlement of all claims under the GEM arrangements (US$27.2 million disclosed under note 23 and a Commitment Fee Put Amount payable of US$12.8 million disclosed under this note). On the 5 March 2026, the Company executed the settlement deed (refer to note 38).
| (ii) | Includes accrued CRML legal fees of US$8,300,000 ($12,824,110) in respect to the BTC convertible note (refer Note 5). |

Due to their short term nature, the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost approximate their fair values.
| c) | Credit risk exposures |
Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if the counterparties default on their contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted the policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group measures credit risk on a fair value basis.
| d) | Interest rate risk |
The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash. The policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 120 days to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate of return.
The entire balance of cash for the Group of $20,021,463 (30 June 2024: $5,778,638) is subject to interest rate risk. Profit or loss is sensitive to higher/lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents as a result of changes in interest rates. At 30 June 2025, if interest rates at that date had been 10 basis points lower with all other variables held constant, there would be no material impact on the post-tax profit for the year.
The balance of cash held on deposit against the offtake prepayment of $23,668,978 (30 June 2024: $22,483,483) is subject to interest rate risk. Profit or loss is sensitive to higher/lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents as a result of changes in interest rates. At 30 June 2025, a movement in the interest rate risks was not material to the Group.
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025 AND 2024 | Page 45 |
| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| e) | Liquidity risk |
The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Surplus funds are generally only invested in short term bank deposits.

| f) | Net fair value |
In accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the financial statement, the Group measures and recognises the following assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis after initial recognition:
| ■ | Financial assets at fair value through the profit or loss |
| ■ | Derivative liabilities |
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows:
| ■ | Level 1 – Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date |
| ■ | Level 2 – Measurement based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly |
| ■ | Level 3 – Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| ● | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. | |
| ● | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. | |
| ● | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. | |
| ● | Conclude whether, in our judgement, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. | |
| ● | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. | |
| ● | Plan and perform the Group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the Group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the work performed for the purposes of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. |
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them, all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
Purpose of this Report and Limitation of Liability
This report has been prepared solely for the purposes of inclusion in the Report on Form 6-K of Critical Metals Corp. filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and incorporation by reference into the registration statements of Critical Metals Corp. identified therein, pursuant to the requirements of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of enabling the directors of the Company to comply with their obligations in connection with that filing. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the directors of European Lithium Limited and Critical Metals Corp., in discharging their responsibilities in connection with this filing, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
